Their final line-up in that period consisted of:
Ken Lloyd (vocals)
Kaz Iwaike (guitar)
Masaru Yoshida (guitar, formerly support guitar)
Rikiji Masuda (bass)
Souta Furuton (drums)
In September 2007 Ken, Kaz and Rikiji reunited and performed at a couple of concerts in Japan, when a new Oblivion Dust album was announced to come. This album is planned to be released in January 2008 along with a bonus DVD containing footage from those concerts.
During the Oblivion Dust hiatus, most - if not all - of the members continued to work in the music industry. Notably, both Kaz and Furuton have backed up HYDE and Ken Lloyd founded a band called FAKE? along with Inoran.

Oblivion Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothing else to say yeah
I love you is a cliche
Don't know why I'm screaming
I'm running out of feelings
Every little problem
Is tearing us apart yeah
It's alright I don't know where you are
It's alright I don't know who you are
It's alright I don't know what you know
It's alright but please please don't go
(Super lover!?)
Live in my mind, live in your mind
It's alright I don't know where you are
It's alright
Think you're kind of selfish
Maybe kind of stylish
Kind of have a feeling
You're enever coming back now
Woke up but I'm dreaming
And now I'm tired of sleeping
Feeling cheap and disgraced
But also kind of special
It's alright I don't know where you are
It's alright I don't know who you are
It's alright I don't know what you know
It's alright but please please...
It's alright I don't know where you are
It's alright I don't know who you are
It's alright I don't know what you know
It's alright but please please don't go
O.K. alright
O.K. alright
O.K. alright
O.K. alright
The song "Selfish" by Oblivion Dust delves into a complicated relationship that is slowly falling apart. The opening lines of the song "There's nothing else to say, yeah / I love you is a cliche" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is expressing their frustrations and emotions towards their love interest, who they feel is selfish and stylish. The lyrics suggest that the relationship has become a cycle of small problems that are tearing them apart. The singer acknowledges that they're running out of feelings, but at the same time, they are still hoping that their love interest won't leave them.
The chorus lyrics “It's alright I don't know where you are, It's alright I don't know who you are” implies that there is a distance between the two individuals and the relationship has weakened over time. Despite this, the singer still has some hope as they repeatedly plead “please don’t go” throughout the song.
The final lyrics of the song “O.K. alright” give us some closure, but the tone of the song is still sad and melancholy. The song's lyrics suggest that the singer is emotionally drained and doesn't know what to do, but they are trying to sweeten the bitter end with a sense of peace - an acceptance of the inevitable.
